Insulated soft shells that minimize clothing changes so you can maximize the vertical. The mechanics are simple: A stretch-woven nylon shell excels at windproof, extremely water-resistant protection, yet still remains lightweight, highly breathable and soft. Inside is a plush layer of R1 fabric to add warmth and move moisture away from the body so you stay dry while slogging uphill. The sleeves are mesh-lined to increase airflow and glide unnoticed over insulating layers. A two-way adjustable hood is helmet-friendly and quickly zips on and off during finicky weather. Face-shot days are no match for the adjustable storm skirt, drawcord hem and elasticized sleeve cuffs that seal with anatomically curved hook-and-Ioop closures. The pants' fully featured gaiters use a combination of gripper elastic, cam buckle and tie-down loops to seal out snow.Zippered handwarmer pockets and a right-side thigh pocket store essentials. Both versions feature a waistband with belt loops and an elasticized back panel. The men's pants have removable drop-seat suspenders. The women's fit is feminine: clean and shaped without being baggy. Imported.
